Joe Bacal Takes New Lexus to Victory in SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge
Just Misses Sweep of Twin Weekend Races to Kick Off 2012 Campaign
LAUGHLIN, Nevada, January 16, 2012 – Having endured a challenging 2011 off-road racing season, Joe Bacal brought his oven-fresh, factory-backed Lexus LX 570 to the 18th Annual SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge looking for a bit of redemption. After narrowly missing victory on Saturday "by one corner," Bacal set a marker on Sunday with an emphatic win in the Stock Full class against a feisty 2011 class champion.
Bacal had just completed the new LX 570, a badly needed replacement for his battle-scarred first generation racer. It had virtually zero test time before the Laughlin races and Bacal faced a problem early on. But once the big LX cleared its throat, Bacal realized he had a very quick racer.
"We did a lot of work on the new LX to address issues we uncovered in our first two seasons," said Bacal. "It paid off big in Laughlin--the truck really flies! A lot of the new speed comes from an improved suspension, courtesy of King Shocks." <Read More>
